I'm not a Trekkie, but a certain episode about racism comes to mind upon seeing these similar but different cookies. ☺ |
| jhancock | 08 Jan 2019 1:49 p.m. PST |
Both look equally edible! |
robert piepenbrink  | 08 Jan 2019 2:03 p.m. PST |
Not even those cookies could make that episode sweet. You young punks can't imagine the horror of watching Star Trek fall apart right in front of us in Third Season. The Star Wars Prequel Trilogy was nothing in comparison. |

I'll only eat the ones with chocolate on the left. Would not even think about the chocolate on right ones. |

But JMcCarroll, it's chocolate . . . On the LEFT side!!! |
| Oberlindes Sol LIC | 08 Jan 2019 6:37 p.m. PST |
JMcCarroll for the win. You monotone cookies are all alike. First you condemn and then attack! |
| Thresher01 | 08 Jan 2019 6:42 p.m. PST |
Are you daft man? They're clearly inedible! Just look at all those white mold spores all over them. |
| von Schwartz | 08 Jan 2019 7:24 p.m. PST |
It's CHOCOLATE!!!!! who gives a fevered rodents posterior which side it's on?!? BTW Thresher01 it's OBVIOUSLY confectionary sugar. |
| Desert Fox | 08 Jan 2019 7:26 p.m. PST |
on the left as you look at them or on the left of the figure? Dammit JMcCarroll, I'm I doctor, not a chef! |

I like Star Trek 3rd season, has some of my favorite episodes.  The big difference is that the new producer didn't believe in 'comedy' episodes, so no 3rd season stories about Tribbles or Harry Mudd.  |

No Comedy in third season – then how do you account for Spock's Brain? |

Yes, we old timers remember that ST episode !  That being said … I'd eat those …  There is no inequality with/between Vanilla or Chocolate, IMO !!! |

I'd rather have a gingerbread woman with lime icing all over. |

So… post a random picture with a meaningless Subject and span an interesting discussion of Star Trek. Love the internet! I may try this one day. But someone needs to learn to sprinkle powdered sugar better. |

The big differences with 3rd Season are two:
1. The new producer (Fred Freiberger) didn't believe in science fiction. Take a look at the story credits for Seasons 1 and 2--real published SF writers. Never again.
2. Freiberger also didn't believe in Goldwyn's Law. ("If you want to send a message, use Western Union.") Every episode, the universe was reconfigured to make the liberal point du jour true. Sadly, this only applied to the fictional universe, so the stories became steadily less pertinent to the real one. Driving home political points with a sledgehammer doesn't improve anyone's fiction. |

Norman, this is Harry Mudd, I am lying!
BTW: SpuriousMilious, you must have a very…interesting sex life.

They cut the budget for season 3 as much as they could – solid writers were among the casualties. Roddenberry was not getting along well with his bosses at the time per his own recollections and let too much go. Fred was not at all subtle. The cookies look tasty though. |

Well they used to look like this,
Until the sushi line got out of hand and etotheipi's Kaiju
stepped on them….
TMP link Which then led to this…(insert giant stompy sounds, screams and squishy noises) Those Japanese schoolgirls obviously spilled powdered sugar while making their escape.
Which then led to
So… post a random picture with a meaningless Subject and span an interesting discussion of Star Trek. Love the internet, Which brings us full circle, yes the internet is a marvelous thing. |
